Cinnamon +Raisin SCONE

Cinnamon raisin scones are a delightful treat that pairs perfectly with coffee or tea. These scones are enriched with the warm flavors of cinnamon and the sweetness of raisins, making them an irresistible choice for breakfast or brunch gatherings. To make these scones, start by preheating your oven to 400°F (204°C) and preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy whipping cream, an egg, and vanilla extract, then combine with the dry ingredients until just mixed. Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a round shape, cut into wedges, and chill briefly before baking. Brush with cream for a golden finish, bake for 18-22 minutes until they are lightly browned. You can drizzle a simple vanilla glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract over the cooled scones for added sweetness. Enjoy these scones as a delightful addition to any meal or as a snack throughout the day!
